Ahmadinejad is a very good leader and a smart guy.
He has a astute grasp of world politics.
It would be a great if an American president set down with him in person and listened to his veiws.
Hey, what could it hurt?
According to Forbes:
"Ahmadinejad and his advisers believe they have already won and point to Obama's conciliatory position as evidence.
They also think that Obama will win.
"Very soon," Ahmadinejad told the Ramadan meeting in New York, "we shall witness monumental changes in the world. America has suffered repeated defeats in all domains and is reaching the end of the road."
"Pro-reform groups in Tehran regard Obama's position as an endorsement of Ahmadinejad's claim that the Western powers in general and the U.S. in particular are "sunset" powers, while Islam represents the "sunrise" power of the future."
"At the same time, Obama legitimizes Ahmadinejad, who faces re-election in June 2009. Strengthened by what he presents as an American retreat, Ahmadinejad would portray his critics as cowards or traitors--this at a time when more and more voices are raised inside Iran urging him to stop his murderous rants and comply with the U.N. resolutions.
The latest calls in that direction have come from Ayatollah Abdallah Nuri, the leading pro-reform figure likely to challenge Ahmadinejad in next year's presidential election. It has also been endorsed by Shirin Ebadi, the Iranian Nobel Peace laureate, and Mostafa Tajzadeh, a leader of the Pro-Reform Movement in Tehran. Statements by independent trade unions have also called on Ahmadinejad to meet the preconditions set by the U.N. in order to stop further economic hardship in Iran."
Amir Taheri is the author of 10 books on Iran, the Middle East and Islam. His new book The Persian Night: Iran Under the Khomeinist Revolution will be published by Encounter Books in November.

Hey, you guys are the ones who are always squawking that people outside of America hate us. You crave their love.
Well this guy loves Obama, and wants him to win.
I'd think that would be win/win for a Dem. At long last, the approval of a nation which has always hated us!
heh, it's not even a real article, it's an op-ed piece written by a right wing nut case.

Amina What's His Name isn't the real power in Iran. It's the Mullah Guys. He's sort of like the relationship between Sarah and John. Not sure which one is in charge.
Didn't we back the Shah of Iran way back when and then the whole thing just went to hell since then and Reagan bargained with them to keep the hostages until he was elected or something like and now Jimmy Carter goes around building houses while 41 runs one of the largest weapons sales in the world and the other one says Obama isn't as good as my wife but I will back him anyway?
